I’m curious what people’s experience of therapy is around this. Maybe some people can benefit from a blank slate T? When I was seeing my blank slate T, a lot of childhood emotion emotion came up, maybe because she was blank slate. A problem was that I seemed to get stuck with the childhood emotion and feeling insecure, so much so that it affected my everyday functioning. It seems to me that it can be helpful in therapy to uncover this childhood emotion, but it couldn’t be soothed in my therapy with her, maybe because she was so blank slate and I couldn’t feel a connection with her?

I experienced infant emotional neglect, so I wonder if for me particularly, the blank slate didn’t help because I have more need for connection in therapy than others, and I have the propensity to feel a greater sense of insecurity?
